Here is an article about the sudden popularity of D&D and it's prevalence in Hollywood. Of course, "Vin Diesel" gets mentioned right off the bat, lol, followed by a lot of other name-dropping. Otherwise, there isn't really anything "new" about this article (parallels are drawn between acting and D&D, writing and D&D, directing and D&D, improv and D&D; but none of that is news to any of us). There were, however, a few names I was surprised to see (e.g. Aubrey Plaza).

The article ends with great quote from Deborah Ann Woll (of Daredevil and TrueBlood), who is apparently a seasoned DM:

“The adventures I’ve had in Dungeons & Dragons will always be more exciting than anything they could put on a screen,” she says, “because it was me and I lived it, and it was spontaneous. That’s just always going to be more exciting.”
